EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Judgment of Paris" by Giorgio Ghisi, a renowned Italian artist from the 16th century. The artwork is based on Giovanni Battista Bertano's original piece and depicts a scene from Greek mythology. In the image, we see Paris, a young man sitting in contemplation as he chooses between three goddesses: Venus, Juno, and Minerva. Each deity tries to sway his decision with their unique charms and offerings. The cherubs surrounding them add an angelic touch to the composition. Ghisi's engraving technique beautifully showcases the intricate details of this Renaissance masterpiece. The delicate lines bring out the expressions on each character's face while emphasizing their individual personalities. The setting takes place in a country road with a chariot nearby symbolizing transport or journey towards destiny. Hera stands behind Paris gesturing towards Venus, who represents love and beauty. Minerva holds her caduceus confidently as she vies for wisdom and knowledge. This print not only highlights Ghisi's artistic skill but also serves as a testament to his deep understanding of Greek mythology and its timeless relevance in society. It is no wonder that this artwork has found its home at The Met museum where it can be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide.
